3 " The witch reached into the picnic basket and pulled out a light brown chamois bag about the size of a playing card. “Maybe this will help you. It’ll boost your self-esteem.”

Now we’re getting somewhere. Riley took the bag and opened it. She looked to the bottom to find … nothing.

“Ah, it’s empty.”

“Of course,” Ayden replied. “It’s up to you to fill it. Find things that mean something to you, that represent times where you’ve overcome an obstacle, learned something important. Put those items in the bag and they’ll help you find your strength. "

4 " The guy behind the counter had been seriously adorable. Model-level cute. She had mentioned that, and Allan, her then boyfriend, hadn't taken it well.

That's when she'd learned that male egos and fruit had a lot in common: Both bruised easily. "

5 " I'll be there for ya, girl. No matter what.

Beck took a deep breath and released it slowly. He had to stay strong for her, make the tough decisions. It was best that Paul's daughter never know how he felt about her. There'd be less hurt that way, for both of them.

Just keep her safe, God. I can settle for that. "

6 " That's Denver Beck, isn't it? Paul mentioned him. What's he like?" Ori asked.

"Oh, where do I start? Beck's mouthy and he lives to tell me what to do." In short, he's so not you. "Why do you want to know?"

A glimmer appeared in Ori's dark eyes.
"Just scoping out the competition. "

8 " Ozymandias controls not only the dead, but the living. He works the dark magics, and it is said he knows the paths between the worlds and walks them without fear. He wields the-"
"Stop! In English, okay?""
"In English?" she asked, throwing the empty wineglass into the picnic basket. Riley nodded.
"You're in serious shit. "

9 " Here I am with a seriously hunky guy and I'm covered in demon pee. Why does the universe hate me? "

― Jana Oliver , Forsaken (The Demon Trappers, #1)

10 " What did ya learn from this dumbass stunt?”
Here's where she was supposed to apologize, promise to be a good little girl and never do anything like this again.
Screw that.
Riley locked eyes with him. “I learned that the Holy Water better be fresh, that I need practice throwing the spheres, and that someone has to watch my back so asshats don't steal my demons. "

― Jana Oliver , Forsaken (The Demon Trappers, #1)

11 " As Beck drove out of the garage, he gave the parking attendants a big toothy smile and a wave. “There's some snow on the fifth level. Thought ya might like to know. Y'all have a nice day, now!” he called out.
No wonder Dad liked working with you. "

― Jana Oliver , Forsaken (The Demon Trappers, #1)

12 " The demon stopped its frantic attempts to escape. It stared at the glitter and began to pant, fingers twitching in anticipation. More twitching. Faster than she'd expected, it zoomed up to the sparkles, despite the danger. She snagged the fiend right before it picked up the last one, and dropped the Magpie into the cup. Instead of a flood of swear words or the offer of a favor, she heard a long, tortured sigh. Then it sat, sorting the glitter into piles by color.
Now she'd seen everything. "

― Jana Oliver , Forsaken (The Demon Trappers, #1)

17 " Thanks. For everything. I mean it.’
A slow grin edged onto his face. ‘You’re worth it…Princess.’
Her tennis show hit the door a second after it closed. "

― Jana Oliver , Forsaken (The Demon Trappers, #1)

18 " Ya lied to me and put yerself in danger. If the Three hadn’t ripped you apart, those two bastards would have. Ya gotta listen to me girl. I’ve been down this road myself.’
Riley Smirked. ‘Those guys wanted to party with you too? "

― Jana Oliver , Forsaken (The Demon Trappers, #1)

19 " Kiss my ass, demon!’ Beck whooped, and shot a first in the air. "

― Jana Oliver , Forsaken (The Demon Trappers, #1)

20 " Accepting favors from fiends was so against the rules. Like potato chips, you couldn't stop at just one, then you'd find yourself at Hell's front door trying to explain why your soul had a big brand on it that said “Property of Lucifer. "
